Used in organic synthesis as a building block for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development. Its boronic acid group facilitates coupling with aryl halides, making it valuable in creating biaryl compounds for drug discovery. The fluorobenzyl and phenyl ether moieties contribute to structural diversity and can influence the biological activity of target molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of intermediates for medicinal chemistry and materials science.
